MONTHLY HOME COMPOSTING CLASSES

  Maui Recycling Group's  Home Composting Workshop are scheduled for a Saturday in each month, at Maalaea Community Garden, from 9:00 am to noon.

 Participants learn various composting methods using a variety of bins and systems in the garden's demonstration area. Vermicomposting using red wiggler worms is also demonstrated.  The class includes a hands-on session allowing students to work with compostable materials, bin designs, and finished compost.  The demonstration site is used by the non-profit Maalaea Community Garden to divert the organization's own green waste from the landfill, providing a working example of the benefits of the composting process. Thousands of people, including more than 1,000 Maui school children, enjoy educational field trips to the garden every year.

 The workshop cost is $15 per person and includes a copy of the handbook, "Home Composting for Maui's Gardeners & Recyclers." Pre-registration is required. Participants are asked to bring bottled water, gloves, and hat to the class. Contact Joy Webster at 572-6668 or via email, for information.
